It doesn't have to be Brandon Sanderson, but I mention him because he's, well, frickin' Sanderson, right? He just got the biggest Kickstarter in the history of Kickstarters funded, the money's there, and he has some opinions on Amazon and bookstores that I think would make him a good candidate for doing it. So, think… Continue reading Brandon Sanderson Should Fund A Rival to Amazon Books

Piracy
So, romanticized, shirtless, sexy pirates with pet parrots and secret hearts shinier than all the gold in their treasure troves on Tortuga island? Great, we love them, more of that please. But book pirates? No thanks. To be clear: I have pirated things before, all sorts of media too--just so much stealing for one little… Continue reading Piracy
The Tide
Why is it a race to as many books as possible? Why isn't it a race to the best books possible? (I mean, I know why: money. We need it to survive. This is just a general spewing of thoughts...) This is something I am struggling with, and I want to understand and accept, and… Continue reading The Tide
February 2022 Newsletter and Freebies And Fuck Ups
I made such a stupid mistake when I sent this thing yesterday. One of the benefits of Mailchimp (and I don't know about this in comparison to other mailing list providers) is that you can "duplicate" a past email, and then edit it and send it as a new one. This is great if you… Continue reading February 2022 Newsletter and Freebies And Fuck Ups
Writing Plans For 2022
I didn't know how to plan out my year with Vacancy being unfinished going into 2022, but now that it's done, it's time. I had a plan for 2021, and I did a lot of the things I hoped I would, but I also fell behind. Considering we... moved four times between September 2020 and… Continue reading Writing Plans For 2022
It’s Release Day!
It's also #1linewed, so that's below, BUT FIRST: The Willful Inheritor is here! I'm losing my mind. In a good way. Mostly. After six years of worrying what to do with these characters and this story, it's finally over, and if you could hear my inflection, you'd be hard pressed to know if I was… Continue reading It’s Release Day!

Focusing On The Good
I was a real crankosaurus rex the other day, so I wanted to do a little self-indulgent and positive post about my career too. Here is that. I've seen a lot of great reviews for every book I've put out so far. Now, my version of "a lot" is nothing compared to other authors, but… Continue reading Focusing On The Good
